Native American Fry Bread

Try this next time you don't know what you want, but you have to make something good.

Native American Frybread
> THREE IRONS FRY BREAD: (wheat)
> 8 cups of whole-wheat flour
> 3 tablespoons baking powder
> 3 tablespoons Splenda
> 1 tablespoon salt
> 1 cup dry milk
> 4 tablespoons canola oil
> 4 cups warm water
>
> Three Irons Fry Bread: Original
> 8 cups white flour
> 3 tablespoons baking powder
> 3 tablespoons sugar
> 1 tablespoon salt
> 1 cup dry milk
> 4 tablespoons soybean oil
> 4 cups warm water
>
> For both: Blend 4 cups of flour with the rest of the dry ingredients in a
> large bowl. Add the wet ingredients, and mix with a spoon. Slowly add 4 more
> cups of flour. Gently knead the dough to form a ball. Be cautious to not
> overwork the dough because it will become tough.
>
> Heat 3 to 4 inches of oil in an electric skillet, large cast iron frying pan
> or deep fat fryer to 368 degrees (the higher temperature is important to
> prevent too much oil from soaking into the bread). Test the oil by dropping a
> small half-dollar- size piece of dough into the oil. When the oil is ready,
> the dough will bubble up and float to the top.
>
> From the large ball of dough, pull off a small piece and flatten, using your
> hands or a rolling pin, to about a half-inch thickness and about 4 to 5
> inches in diameter. Punch a small hole in the center, and put into the hot oil.
> Cook until golden brown on one side, and turn over until browned on both
> sides. Drain on paper towels.
